Opinion
February 4, 1985
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Jordan, J.).
Order affirmed, insofar as appealed from, with costs.
The omission in the second separate and partial final decree in this case, namely that a $265,000 award granted by former Justice Carmine A. Ventiera should have included appellant's claim for fixtures in damage parcel No. 15 in the condemnation proceeding, was a clerical error which could be corrected at any time by the trial court ( see, Herpe v Herpe, 225 N.Y. 323, 327; Administrative Code of City of New York § B15-32.0). Appellant's claim that he was entitled to a separate trial on the fixture claim pursuant to a purported settlement before former Justice Ventiera is totally unsupported by the record. To the contrary, the record shows that evidence of appraisals specifically addressed to the fixtures owed by Kem Products Corporation on damage parcel No. 15 was introduced at the trial and was thus included in the $265,000 award granted by former Justice Ventiera. Appellant's other claims of procedural errors and unfairness in the proceedings before Special Term and before former Justice Ventiera, who was appointed as a referee to clarify the prior decision rendered by him while a trial justice, have been examined and are without merit. Thompson, J.P., Brown, Niehoff and Lawrence, JJ., concur.
